WEBVTT 46-PAGE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE REPORT. THE DEPARTMENT OUTLINED MANY CASES THEY THOUGHT WERE ESPECIALLY SERIOUS AND SOME OF THE FOLLOWING CRITICISMS WERE VERY HARSH. "We have determined there is reasonable cause to believe the Albuquerque police department engages in a pattern or practice of use of excessive force including the use of unreasonable deadly force." THE U-S DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE REPORT CITES NUMEROUS AREAS THE ALBUQUERQUE POLICE DEPARTMENT CAN IMPROVE ON. "ALBUQUERQUE POLICE OFFICERS USED FORCE AGAINST INDIVIDUALS WHO WERE PASSIVELY RESISTING AND POSED A MINIMAL THREAT." THE REPORT SITES A MAN NAMED "ALBERT", A 60-YEAR OLD INTOXICATED MAN ARGUING WITH HIS FRIEND. 47 OFFICERS RESPONDED TO THE SCENE, AFTER SOME TIME, "ALBERT" BEGAN TO COMPLY. AN ORDER TO "BAG HIM" WAS GIVEN, OFFICERS FIRED FIVE OF BEANBAGS, TWO TASERS, A FLASH-BANG GRENADE AND FOUR WOODEN BATONS. THE POLICE CANINE WAS DEPLOYED AND BIT ALBERT IN THE ARM, TEARING HIS FLESH. THE REPORT GOES ON SAYING... "ALBUQUERQUE POLICE OFFICERS SHOT AND KILLED CIVILIANS WHO DID NOT POSE AN IMMINENT THREAT OF SERIOUS BODILY HARM OR DEATH TO THE OFFICERS OR OTHERS." "..DEFICIENCIES- INCLUDING INSUFFICIENT OVERSIGHT, INADEQUATE TRAINING, AND INEFFECTIVE POLICIES." "FORCE INCIDENTS ARE NOT PROPERLY DOCUMENTED." "ALBUQUERQUE POLICE OFFICERS USED EXCESSIVE FORCE AGAINST INDIVIDUALS WITH MENTAL ILLNESS, AGAINST INDIVIDUALS WITH IMPAIRED FACULTIES, AND AGAINST INDIVIDUALS WHO REQUIRE MEDICAL TREATMENT." "It's notable that just yesterday through patience and de-escalation two officers took an armed man into custody without violence." MAYOR RICHARD BERRY SAYS HE DIDN'T KNOW THERE WERE ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS UNTIL THE REPORT WAS RELEASED. WE HAVE EVEN MORE COVERAGE AT KOAT DOT COM, AND ON OUR FREE MOBILE APP. INCLUDING AN EASY-TO- READ LIST OF WHAT THE D-O-J WANTS A-P-D TO CHANGE... AND A BREAK DOWN OF ALL 37 OFFICER-INVOLVED SHOOTINGS, INCLUDED IN THE INVESTIGATION.
